When I first came home from the hospital, I did not have the strength to do anything.
I had no interest in knitting, which is quite unlike me.
After a few weeks, I picked up my knitting needles and yarn and found they brought me great comfort.
I always have a "stash" of yarn so I started knitting a scarf.
Easy, mindless, Leanne had just made one, shared pictures on instagram and I liked it.
It is knitting only, in the round, like a tube sock making it doubly warm.
"Colorblock Party" by The Lamb and Kid
each block/section was knitted with a different hand dyed Alpaca yarn, all hand dyed by Liz.
What do you think?
Three quarters of the way through, my needle broke and I ordered a new one from Amazon.
The needle took longer than expected and my hands were very fidgety...
so I picked up the blanket I started a year ago and finished it...
it is a long "lap blanket"...and was almost done.
The fringe will look better after I rinse and block it.
I still have to add fringe to the other end.
I keep track of my knitting projects in this book...
below are the details from the blanket.
I have been able to help the hubs with some of the bookkeeping and finances, he is doing a little more than he usually does and has been a huge help with cleaning and laundry.

Well I know nothing about Knitting, but it looks nice. Mind you, you need some snow to go with it!
i sure do!!! maybe tonight, i was expecting a package from you!!
The blanket came out so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's perfect on your couch. And your scarf is beautiful. What a great way to show off Liz's hand dyed yarn. :)
Love the knitting. It is good to see your beautiful knitted items again!
Keep resting when you need to! I didn't know those mean looking metal knitting needles could break. Even the wood ones seem durable. Linda in Kansas
I did try knitting many, many years ago but didn't click with it (no pun intended). My dear Mum used to knit so much, her needles were always clicking and she made some wonderful things.
I'm pleased you are back knitting, I like what I see :)
All the best Jan

I am learning to knit and have my first sweater down to the sleeves and have let it sit for weeks. I am also a rug hooker and having been doing that. It helps to keep your hands busy

Hello,
Your knitting looks beautiful and it brings you joy.
The scarf and blanket are beautiful, well done!
Take care, have a wonderful day!
Hello Debbie :)
The scarf is beautiful just as it is, and looks as though it will be warm, and the blanket looks so cosy, nice to wrap around your legs when you are watching TV, but it has so many uses and must feel soft to the touch. A lovely piece of knitting. Debbie.
I am so glad to read that you are in your happy place knitting!
I love the yarn in your scarf. That throw blanket is just gorgeous.
I am so glad your hubby is able to be there with you and help around the house as you heal. i love the scarf and all it's pretty colors, bet that will be nice and warm. The blanket is so pretty, always feels good to finish a project and neat that you write down when you started and finished it. Glad it gave you great comfort when you needed it!
